The novelty of Kentucky football returning to action and playing at home for the first time this season has worn off. There’s no more time for moral victories or excuses. When the Wildcats host the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Kroger Field this evening, they need to send them back to Starkville with a loss.
After crumbling in the second half on back-to-back occasions to open the season, Kentucky sits at 0-2 on the season with a difficult road ahead.
Mississippi State opened the season with a dominant season-opening upset at LSU, followed by a disappointing loss at home against Arkansas in Week 2.
